This is one kind of limitation in Office 365 or MSFT still behind on this. There are couple of options.
- save as template include the content( as mentioned above), but this has its own limitation i.e losing metadata, if list size is more than 50 MB then it cause trouble.
- 2nd & most reliable options as of now is use the 3rd party tools for backup and restore.
- Lastly you can contact MSFT support but they will restore the whole site collection not the list. they retains upto 14 days.
- You can also use the Recycbin to recover the deleted items or enabling the versioning.
